Quotes from Evelyn Fox Keller

To know the history of science is to recognize the mortality of any claim to universal truth.

I was just so interested in what I was doing I could hardly wait to get up in the morning and get at it. One of my friends, a geneticist, said I was a child, because only children can't wait to get up in the morning to get at what they want to do. - Dr. Barbara McClintock
